For those interested: "A Little History of British Gardening" by Jenny Uglow. Unfortunately not long enough as a book.

I loved this video. All that history, all the beautiful gardens. What a great video for someone who will never be able to view that beauty in person! I love Gardeners World and am just now catching up on all the 2020 videos, as I've already seen most every video they've made. Thank You! @UrbanWild for posting this for others to enjoy. I tip my hat to you.
